Are there any fund(mutual or whatever) which can be beneficiated by tax deduction when you file your tax-return? like 401K?
I know that 401K is a kind of Tax-deferred one that you need to pay your income tax when you receive it after 65 years-old. But for this, the goverment gives you a benefit when you file your tax-return.
I mean this kind of benefit that you can have in your tax-return.
I am korean and not good at speaking English, hope that any answerer can understand my point.

I am a finance major from Florida International University and have had some accounts payable work experience. My question is what good career can I find with a Finance major with about 3 years experience in accounts payable. I am in a dilemma because finance majors ussually end up with sales and commision only positions. So what can I do so my degree wont be wasted because I have noticed that account payable careers are usually left for non-degree candidates and accounting careers are left for accounting majors. And I don't want to waste my time and money with more toilet paper refering to another degree. So what should I do so my finance degree won't go to waste.

I have done the math, and the cost of attending community college part time, would be less than the interest on my student loans.

Here is an example of my situation: Upon graduating, the annual interest on my subsidized student loans will be about $1,500 per year. The cost of attending part time (6 hours) at a local junior college works out to about $1,000 per year after costs of books, fees, etc. So, I would save $500 per year by attending junior college and deferring my interest.

Now it gets even better…

I can deduct only $2,500 a year in student loan interest. Based upon my total outstanding loans, I will have much more than that from only my unsubsidized loans. So, I would get no tax deductions from paying the interest on my subsidized student loans. However, if I go to junior college, I could deduct my education expense.

Now, I am not planning on never paying back my student loans. I hope to work, go to JuCo and pay my loans at the same time.

Basically, I am trying to re-enter the market research/analytics field I was once in before but now I am in a different field and its difficult to go back into it. Anyone have similar experience or tips? Thanks.

The Employee Handbook says,
VACATIONS: Regular full time employees who have been with the company for less than 8 years but more than one year, are entitled to 2 weeks paid vacation.

I NEED TO KNOW WHEN THE VACATION TIME IS ACTUALLY EARNED ACCORDING TO THE HANDBOOK, #1 or #2?

#1 You start earning your vacation in the 2nd year of employment. The 1st year is not counted. You will have earned 2 weeks paid vacation by the end of the 2nd year.
OR
#2 You start earning your vacation in the 1st year of employment. You have earned 2 weeks paid vacation and are entitled to take it after 1 year has been completed.

I am a small business owner and have been looking for angel investors. I received a letter from "SFG Group" from Woodland Hills, CA. In the letter was a commitment letter, asking me to sign in order for them to begin the process of soliciting investors in the amount of $210,000.
I am in my last year in law school so I know about doing "due diligence"--they are not registered with any state's secretary of state, the address they gave points to a restaurant, who sends a letter of commitment in a mailing, they have no website, they don't indicate if what type of organization they are, they put a week's time limit on signing the form, etc.
It seems silly to me for them to send this letter anyway because of the terms---it's not legally binding and I can breach the contract without consequence. Just wanted confirmation that I was on the right track.

Personally I like technical better because you can tell whether a person is ready or not for the job than behavioral – there is no right or wrong answer for behavioral. I believe it encourages a discrimination of character if one got rejected just because he has a different character or point of views to react to certain things (or if he doesn’t look “energetic” enough or “smiley” enough). I just hate it when the best BS out there actually got the job – without even considering if he knows the actual stuff. As a fundamental analyst, I believe past behavior cannot predict the future behavior. You would never get a straight answer from behavioral interviews and there is no proof that it is true or not! I don’t understand when companies do not have technical interviews. It is like gambling in a casino – relying solely on your gut instinct of the person who is sitting across from you seducing you not intellectually – but … I don’t know… something!

This is from a document that says that "only 3% of the population actually enjoys selling but most people love to shop". Although I think that lots of people love to shop, I hate to have statements that include statistics just pulled out of the air (a lie in other words) so is there some sort of way I can find out where they get this from without asking them?

I have called and looked at so many places that rent in my area, but the clincher to deciding if I want to live there is their no pet policy. Why is it if you have an outside dog, and sometimes inside, that it is okay to rent, but if you have a cat then OMG, nope. Why in the heck do they think cats are dirty? Cats use the litter box and COVER up their doings. Dogs go wherever they can in the yard or worse, the neighbor's yard. Plus some dogs bark and bother other people when they are trying to rest.
My cats are like my children and I do not want to have to give them to someone who would not treat them like they are used to being treated.
